The Science and Culture Series — Physics
CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM NONLOCALITY
Proceedings of the International School of Cosmology and Gravitation XVI Course
Erice, Italy 27 April - 4 May 1999
edited by P G Bergmann (New York University), V de Sabbata (University of Bologna) & J N Goldberg (Syracuse University)
This book provides an up-to-date understanding of the progress and current problems of the interplay of nonlocality in the classical theories of gravitation and quantum theory. These problems lie on the border between general relativity and quantum physics, including quantum gravity.
Contents:
- Bohr's and Mach's Conceptions of Non-locality in Gravitation (H H v
Borzeszkowski & H-J Treder)
- Non-locality Versus Locality: The Epistemological Background of the Einstein–Bohr Debate (H-H v Borzeszkowski & R Wahsner)
- Global Energy and Non-local Energy (J N Goldberg)
- Aspects of Physical Non-locality (A Komar)
- The EPR Argument and Quantum Non-locality (B K Datta et al.)
- Non-commuting Geometry and Spin Fluctuations (V de Sabbata et al.)
- Noncommutative Geometry for Pedestrians (J Madore)
- Some Topics and Trials on the Theory of Non-local Fields — Theory of Fields in Finsler Spaces and Fluctuations of Space–Time (Y Takano)
- Quantum Gravity Phenomenology (D V Nanopoulos)
- Hawking Radiation in String Theory and the String Phase of Black Holes (M R Medrano & N Sanchez)
- Non-locality, Entanglement and Quantum Computers (Z-L Zhang & Z-J Zhang)
Readership: Cosmologists, astronomers, astrophysicists, high energy physicists
and experimental physicists.
